Hi all,
I am trying to build a vmware image as described here: Build VyOS — VyOS 1.4.x (sagitta) documentation.
This is the exact steps I have taken so far:
apt-get update
apt-get install -y apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl gnupg2 software-properties-common
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg | apt-key add -
add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
apt-get update
apt-get install -y docker-ce
docker pull vyos/vyos-build:crux
git clone -b crux --single-branch https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build
cd vyos-build
docker run --rm -it --privileged -v $(pwd):/vyos -w /vyos vyos/vyos-build:crux bash
os=jessie64 branch=crux make build
./configure --architecture amd64 --build-by "j.randomhacker@vyos.io"
sudo make iso
# I then modify the packer.json as per this post:
# https://forum.vyos.io/t/unable-to-build-qemu-image-using-vyos-build-docker-container/3090/3
vim /vyos/scripts/packer.json
make qemu
# I download and install VMware-ovftool-4.4.3-18663434-lin.x86_64.bundle so I have ovftool
chmod +x /root/VMware-ovftool-4.4.3-18663434-lin.x86_64.bundle
./root/VMware-ovftool-4.4.3-18663434-lin.x86_64.bundle
# generate a self-signed cert (it seems the vmware build was requiring it...)
openssl req -x509 -nodes -sha256 -days 365 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout myself.pem -out myself.pem
./configure --ova-signing-key /vyos/myself.pem
make vmware
The build then runs for some 20-30 mins and it fails at this point:

It seems kpartx didn't mount the image correctly: exiting.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?
